What about them, and how was your debate class? Can you measure the time of day an organism died with radiocarbon dating? This rhethorical question is meant as a hint. Did you know how they calibrated radiocarbon at first? They used wine

I wasn‘t aware that society means surgery. Likewise that veiled means literal. By extension, ethnic cleansing probably means giving certain parts of a population a well deserved bath? Edit: I did not want to imply that you meant it that wa

Every single one of your points is not boolean and depends on the definition and the data you include and exclude. For each you could easily find studies and statistics in either direction. The fact that this is apparently not obvious to yo

Oh, 1000 times this! Literally my research subject in the last weeks, a tablet with a dev OS. Sizewise I love the iPad Mini, but iPadOS is useless. Looking now at a Surface Go: slightly too large. If anyone has another suggestion for a smal

Based on the amounts of re-reads: Das Boot. A soldier and artist, caught in the strangest of circumstances, either under the most extreme, life threatening danger or waiting for it, both in slow motion. Fascinating, state of the art technol

Confusing: Some employees disagreed with the founders actions (how?), so he offered all employees 6 months salary if they leave immediately? Sounds like a lot of damage for what is essentially damage control…

Some ideas: -change screen ratio, increase width against height, like an iPad. -Why are iPads and iPhones treated so differently? I want to use a pen on the phone and make a phone call on the tablet. -Double screen, not foldable, but two s

I knew the Titanic was discovered in the mid 80s, but was pretty sure it was not not by this submersible, but a ship pulling a camera. So that took the entire sentence into question and that could IMHO very well been an AI that merged nucle

No, not literally…presumably. You believe that the radiation you look at is that old, because you measure certain wavelengths and study ladders, but you can‘t really prove it. Proving that something is 13 billion years old is beyond the cap

Indeed. But keyword is „inferred“, assuming that all laws worked the same at any point in a gigantic timeframe, at any point in a gigantic universe. Except singularities. And quantum mechanics as it seems? And maybe dark energy. Oh and late

Explanation needed. How can you, a primitive ape on a tiny remote planet with an average lifespan of 80 years (not meant as an insult, I am too), be sure about what happened 15, 20 or 100 BILLION years ago? I think this is what parent meant

Man that makes my day! I was prepared to not update to 17.4 and leave the Apple ecosystem in the longterm because of this, already checking out linux phones…same situation when they threatened to scan my photos. In both cases they reversed.
